Product: Microsoft 365
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Managing billing, subscriptions, or partner-management information for an organization.
Observed behavior: The user is unsure of the billing or reseller account credentials and needs to locate this administrative information.

Before you start

Solution 1Recommended

Identify the Reseller Account via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center

Use the admin center to locate partner relationships or submit a support ticket to Microsoft to trace the reselling account.

Because this involves sensitive billing and subscription management data, the information is restricted to users with administrative privileges within the Microsoft tenant.

Consult the Tenant Admin

Reach out to your organization's IT department or tenant administrator, as they typically hold the credentials for billing, licensing, and partner accounts.

Log into the Admin Center

If you have admin rights, navigate to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and log in with your administrator credentials.

Check Partner Relationships

Go to 'Settings' and look for the 'Partner relationships' section to identify associated reseller or partner accounts.

Submit a Support Request

If the account is still unknown, click on 'Support' then 'New service request' within the Admin Center to ask Microsoft directly which account is tied to your organization's reseller agreement.

Admin Access Required: You must have Global Admin or Billing Admin roles assigned to view or request details about reseller and licensing agreements.
